wooden covers. The work of the bush re-
quires great care, but there is nothing
that any intelligent person cannot soon
learn and do well. -
But Good syrup requires great neatness
and the utmost despatch in reducing
from sap to syrup-indeed, the sooner
the sap is reduced to syrup and sealed
the lighter colored will it be and the more
exquisite in flavor; and the least scorch-
ing is its ruination; therefore only a
thoughtful, painstaking assistant can be
safely trusted with this work. [ think no
bush in the country turns out nicer syrup
than mine, and yet / am thirty miles
away. But brother is an expert, and
very painstaking, and either he or his
boys, who are equally careful, do all the
work of the sugar house. I get $1.25 per
gallon, net, for my syrup, and as [ can
not supply the demand expect to raise
the price to S1.5O next year. And 1t will
be worth it.
Mr.. A. I. Root, Medina, O., has just
issued a complete manual of this indus
try, which | think sells for forty cents.
To those who do not read this fuller dis
cussion, the following further data will
be useful: Have a neat house with two
rooms, one for boiling the other for q
wOodshed. There should be several win
dows which may be easily opened. Use
the cham pion evaporation, and if possible
get the iron arch that goes with it. Ex-
perience has proved to me that this is
incom parably superior. 1t secures very
rapid evaporation, removes the lime
trouble and is very convenient. would
use only tin buckets, preferably Of twelve
ell flo +ho4 +Hor n
nest, and they will last longer if painted
on the outside.
The Eureka No. 2 spout costs consider
able, but prefer it to any other. Our
spouts must hold the buckets this one
does this securely, and will last for all
time. 1t furnishes a water trap so the
sap does not dry up, and yet it does not
impede the sap the least. Cover the
buckets. This keeps out all rain, snow
dust, leaves and insects, and prevents
freezing when the weather is not too cold.
L make the covers at very light expense,
OF inch pine boards, one foot square !;
paint white on one side and red on the
other; as they are turned over at each
gathering of the sap, this saves much
extra labor.
The sap is strained through factory
cloth as it enters the gathering tank,
again as it enters the store trough, and
the hot syrup is strained through
flannel as it leaves the evaporation. This
with the covers to the buckets, ensures
that neatness which is .absolu tely nee
cessary to secure superior syrup. We
also rinse buckets and all vessels with hot
water after each run. The syrup is al
loved to stand about twenty minutes,
that lime may settle, and then.is turned
into the cans while yet hot. Quick seal
ing is necessary to retain the perfection
of flavor. If all this care be taken we
have only to put our syrup upon any
table where the pest is desired to secure
a market in future.

THE MAPLE.

How to Make Maple Syrup-No Man Can Afford
TO Cut Down Good Sugar Orchard.
No other part Of my farm pays SO well
as the twenty-acre sugar bush of 500 trees
the annual product meeting about fifty
cents each. Besides the syrup this
ground furnishes considerable sheep
pasturage, and is further valuable IN the
annual growth of small timber. No maR
IN the United States can afford to cut
down good sugar orchard or ssffer it to
remain unused. The cost of frstclass
equipment for 1000 trees will be about
nifty cents per tree, or $500, or about
equal to one years income from the or
chard. This includes convenient house
best evaporation, and good tin buckets with

The birds IN the shad'wy branches.

Our old friend the Shah of Persia has
very nearly come to grief in endeavoring
To prove his provinces as a Nimrod. A
fortnight ago, while engaged in grand
bear hunt in the district of Toschan-
Tepeh. two bears. evidently possessed by
neither due sense of respect for the
Shah nor of the rules of the royal HINT
game, simultaneously attacked Nessar-
ed-Din. His imperial highness. thus taken
on either flank, would have inevitably
succumbcd TO the attack but for the pluck
interference of az attendant. who rushed
successfully to tbs rescue. With the Law
1sh generosity of an Eastern potentate
the Shah promptly made his rescuer gov
ernor of a province, which, let us hope,
will not prove. as coo often is the case in
Persia, short cut to the bowstring.

would thrive better on this than on corn
meal alone, for the reason that the ground
cob served to make the meal more
porous, so that the gastric juice would
penetrate it more readily. Corn meal
alone, when wet, forms q too solid mass
in the stomach to be easily digested. On
this account We regard corr and cobs
ground together about as valuable for
feeding purposes as the same weight of
corn meal alone. 1t proves true in the
case of swine as with cattle and horses
that some coarse food given with that

Many persons suppose that hygienie

taste well. This is decided mistake.
tits of piece with the idea that pious
church member is prisoner to solemn
ty, and cannot smile or look cheerful.
Hygienic cookery may be defined as the
science of making every dish So sweet
and appetizina that chemical sauces need
not be employed to give them havor.
1t Is essential that every article of food
prepared in this manner shall be Of the
choicest and best. Sound potatoes,
roasted in their jackets, are preferable
to unsound potatoes, fried in lard or but
ter. Are they not? Roasting is hygien-
ic. 1t preserves the potato in its purity,
and makes it a delicate morsel even for
an epicure. A baked apple is wholesome.
An apple fritter is not, because it is
Drowned in grease. HYGIENE cookery
requires that apples shall have no decay
in them; it requires that the core shall
be CAREFUL; removed; and it re quires
that the stones, or seeds, shall be Tt NOV
ed from raisins. Take prime piece of
fish and cook it by steam, and it will be
found SO delicious that it would be spoil
ed In flavor by even a suggestion of
chemical sauce. High favoring enables
unprincipled hotel and restaurant keep
ers to serve impure food, which if cook
ed according to hygienic rules, would be
readily detected. A bad oyster may be
concealed in fried batter, and partly
swallowed before it is detected.

when the pastures will contain full sup
ply of green food.
Not that the change should be made all
at once-that Is, keep the stock up and
feed upon dry food until there is sufficient
growth of grass in the pastures, and then
turn them in allow them to live upon
grass alone. Not by any means; make
the change gradual. I consider that the
stock should be allowed to run week at
least feed with dry feed night and morn
ing, and only be allowed the run of the
pasture short time each day at first, I'M
til they become somewhat accustomed TO
it. too sudden change from green food
to dry, or OF dry food to green, very often
produces disease, and the safest plan is
to make each change gradual. Then,
stock that have been we'll sheltered all
winter should still be sheltered every
night. and on stormy days for some time
yet: the weather, especially when it rains,
will be cold and chilly, and stock that
hava been properly sheltered all winter
will feel the effects of such exposure,
often severely, and if they are properly
sheltered all this will be avoided. Later
or. as the weather becomes more settled,
protection will not be so necessary.
